Interface ManagedConnectionFactory

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public interface ManagedConnectionFactory
extends java.io.Serializable

ManagedConnectionFactory instance is a factory of both ManagedConnection and EIS-specific connection factory instances. This interface supports connection pooling by providing methods for matching and creation of ManagedConnection instance. A ManagedConnectionFactory instance is required to be a JavaBean.

Method Detail

createConnectionFactory

java.lang.Object createConnectionFactory(ConnectionManager cxManager)
                                         throws ResourceException

Creates a Connection Factory instance. The Connection Factory instance gets initialized with the passed ConnectionManager. In the managed scenario, ConnectionManager is provided by the application server.

Parameters:

cxManager - ConnectionManager to be associated with created EIS connection factory instance

Returns:

EIS-specific Connection Factory instance or javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory instance

Throws:

ResourceException - Generic exception

ResourceAdapterInternalException - Resource adapter related error condition

createConnectionFactory

java.lang.Object createConnectionFactory()
                                         throws ResourceException

Creates a Connection Factory instance. The Connection Factory instance gets initialized with a default ConnectionManager provided by the resource adapter.

Returns:

EIS-specific Connection Factory instance or javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory instance

Throws:

ResourceException - Generic exception

ResourceAdapterInternalException - Resource adapter related error condition

createManagedConnection

ManagedConnection createManagedConnection(javax.security.auth.Subject subject,
                                          ConnectionRequestInfo cxRequestInfo)
                                          throws ResourceException

Creates a new physical connection to the underlying EIS resource manager.

ManagedConnectionFactory uses the security information (passed as Subject) and additional ConnectionRequestInfo (which is specific to ResourceAdapter and opaque to application server) to create this new connection.

Parameters:

subject - Caller's security information

cxRequestInfo - Additional resource adapter specific connection request information

Returns:

ManagedConnection instance

Throws:

ResourceException - generic exception

SecurityException - security related error

ResourceAllocationException - failed to allocate system resources for connection request

ResourceAdapterInternalException - resource adapter related error condition

EISSystemException - internal error condition in EIS instance

matchManagedConnections

ManagedConnection matchManagedConnections(java.util.Set connectionSet,
                                          javax.security.auth.Subject subject,
                                          ConnectionRequestInfo cxRequestInfo)
                                          throws ResourceException

Returns a matched connection from the candidate set of connections.

ManagedConnectionFactory uses the security info (as in Subject) and information provided through ConnectionRequestInfo and additional Resource Adapter specific criteria to do matching. Note that criteria used for matching is specific to a resource adapter and is not prescribed by the Connector specification.

This method returns a ManagedConnection instance that is the best match for handling the connection allocation request.

Parameters:

connectionSet - candidate connection set

subject - caller's security information

cxRequestInfo - additional resource adapter specific connection request information

Returns:

ManagedConnection if resource adapter finds an acceptable match otherwise null

Throws:

ResourceException - generic exception

SecurityException - security related error

ResourceAdapterInternalException - resource adapter related error condition

NotSupportedException - if operation is not supported

setLogWriter

void setLogWriter(java.io.PrintWriter out)
                  throws ResourceException

Set the log writer for this ManagedConnectionFactory instance.

The log writer is a character output stream to which all logging and tracing messages for this ManagedConnectionfactory instance will be printed.

ApplicationServer manages the association of output stream with the ManagedConnectionFactory. When a ManagedConnectionFactory object is created the log writer is initially null, in other words, logging is disabled. Once a log writer is associated with a ManagedConnectionFactory, logging and tracing for ManagedConnectionFactory instance is enabled.

The ManagedConnection instances created by ManagedConnectionFactory "inherits" the log writer, which can be overridden by ApplicationServer using ManagedConnection.setLogWriter to set ManagedConnection specific logging and tracing.

Parameters:

out - PrintWriter - an out stream for error logging and tracing

Throws:

ResourceException - generic exception

ResourceAdapterInternalException - resource adapter related error condition

getLogWriter

java.io.PrintWriter getLogWriter()
                                 throws ResourceException

Get the log writer for this ManagedConnectionFactory instance.

The log writer is a character output stream to which all logging and tracing messages for this ManagedConnectionFactory instance will be printed

ApplicationServer manages the association of output stream with the ManagedConnectionFactory. When a ManagedConnectionFactory object is created the log writer is initially null, in other words, logging is disabled.

Returns:

PrintWriter

Throws:

ResourceException - generic exception

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns the hash code for the ManagedConnectionFactory

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

hash code for the ManagedConnectionFactory

equals

boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Check if this ManagedConnectionFactory is equal to another ManagedConnectionFactory.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

true if two instances are equal
